to obtain The Palace software. Once you have The Palace software, go to finchnest.com

Finchnest.com is a warm, comfortable Palace community, where the regulars swap recipes and the rooms are well-drawn. Climb up in their treehouse and sit for a spell, or go hang out in their pool. They have a prop department that allows a new user to play around with making new objets d'art, and a calendar of upcoming events for every holiday. Currently there's a "treasure hunt" for props going on. Have fun zapping from room to room and being turned into a new and weirder object with each change. Careful, though. I ended up turning into a twitching noodle that is either doing the macarena or having a seizure, I'm not sure which. - T.N.
